Virat Kohli’s childhood coach Rajkumar Sharma has stated that Kohli’s recent social media post indicates that he only wants to become better himself and is not competing with anyone else. However, Virat Kohli stepped down or was removed from Team India’s captaincy across all formats in the last few months, and has not been at his best of form with the bat as well.

During a discussion on India News, Rajkumar Sharma said: ‘It tells the entire story; he (Kohli) wants to tell that he is not fighting against anyone, and he always wants to better himself only, which he has always done throughout his career.”

He continued: “I have always said that he does not run after records. He does not know most times what record he has created, and I tell him what record he has created. So he has a fight with himself only, that is what he probably means that he wants to improve his performance because lately, it has not been up to the benchmark he has set.”

Rajkumar Sharma also named Virat Kohli’s realisation that he has not scored a century for quite some time now and that he is expected to regain his old form soon as well.

Saba Karim stated: “According to me, it means that he (Kohli) wants to reattain the heights he has achieved; his effort will be there for that only. and that is why he has given such a comment. In the end, he has to fight his form only.”

Karim concluded: “He needs to prepare himself in such a way that once he goes to the ground again, not only should you feel that you are ready, but the opposition also feels that the old Virat Kohli is back.”
